Happy Happy Day!!!

It's a very HAPPY Tuesday!!! yes, i'm still grinning ear to ear.... my card isn't finished yet so i don't have a creation to share with you... but i do have some HAPPY news... =D Last month i was lucky enough to win some of Teri's awesome gift tags... and oh my! seeing and feeling it IRL, i give this girl props for all her preparations she put into this... omgoodness... i don't know how she does it... anyway, i got them in the mail and she surprised me with some goodies... mmmm! lookie here...
Can you see her beautiful tags?!?! gorgeous... sorry, but i won't be attaching these to any gifts... it's going in my book of GREATS... hehehe! trust me, it's too wonderful to use... please don't mind my background... LOL i threw tissue paper over my desk to hide my mess.. LOL...

here's a close up of her tags.... and that one with the house.... the base is embossed and it looks and feels great... it opens up and inside is a to..from.. label... i'm in awe finally being able to look at her creations IRL... Thank you Teri for the wonderful gifts!!!! it was a total surprise! LOVE you GF for thinking of me... =D hopefully soon we get to meet IRL too...
